Texas A&M University Extends Offer Acceptance Deadline Amid FAFSA Processing Delays

"Earlier this week, KBTX reported on how FAFSA delays impacted a Bryan Collegiate High School student depending on financial aid to make her college decision," KBTX reports.

..."The confusion and frustration surrounding the updated and delayed FAFSA attracted congressional attention. The National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA) testified in front of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce last week.

That testimony gave a behind-the-scenes look into what schools like Texas A&M face as they navigate this delay.

'40% of the FAFSA files that schools have are not usable to calculate financial aid offers for students, and that’s on average,' CEO Justin Draeger said."
